Sorry for the silence, I had a pressing matter to handle at work :-)...

I have tested with compositing disabled and there is some improvements.
Although it does slow down after leaving it idle for a while. I have noticed
that everything KDE goes to sleep. Kmail is slow on typing an email when all
this happens, Kaddressbook takes its sweet time.

I'll try disable all fancy features and give it a go.

I use a Dell Optiplex 780. It has 4GB RAM, Graphics card is Intel Q45 SVGA
controller.

a million chances happen 99% of the time.
